TRIBUTE TO ONE OF THE MOST PROMISING LEADERS IN INDIAN POLITICS


Pramod Mahajan, the fighter of all times, lost the most important battle in his life today May 3, 2006 at 4:10 pm at Hinduja hospital. He was probably the most successful, self-made politician at his age in today’s political circles. Success invites friends and foes in equal numbers. May be in politics enmity tends to grow treachery and conspiracy.


But unfortunately it wasn’t a political treachery or a criminal conspiracy that pumped in the bullets within Mahajan, but an outrage or an ego clash that the person pulling the trigger turned out to be his own brother. Clueless and shocked as Mahajan lay wounded murmured “ Mi kuthe chuklo?” (“Where did I go wrong”) recalls Gopinath Munde. The answer to this question lies with perhaps only one individual who is currently in the police lock-up.



Pravin Mahajan showing no sign of remorse or regret has left both anguish and curiosity in the people’s mind about the backstage incidents that have not yet surfaced. Incidents that made Pravin bang four bullets to his elder brother and his father like figure.



Today as Pramod leaves the world for the eternal abode, I pray and hope that may his soul rest in peace. I give my condolences, to his family and to all the BJP leaders who may feel the vacuum. Indeed it’s not just a loss for the BJP, but a national loss as the man who could have been instrumental in shaping India’s future lives no longer to see it happen.
